Both adaptive and innate immune memory responses have been described in gamma delta T cells, yet the mechanisms, the ligands and the gamma delta T cell subsets generating memory responses have remain ...

In brief, the fundamental unit of adaptive immune recognition comprises the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules (called the human leukocyte antigen [HLA] in humans), the peptide being ...

The body’s third line of defense—the adaptive defense system—is a final, more specific response. Its elite fighting units are trained on the job; that is, they are created in response to a ...

Researchers led by the University of Geneva and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne report that neural anticipation of ...

Several studies have now demonstrated that trained immunity occurs in the airways to several pathogens and products, while its utility is yet to be determined.

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells and tissues, due to the recognition of self-antigens by self-reactive T cells.

Lymphoid-derived conventional dendritic cells (L-cDCs) may play a unique function associated with immune suppression and allergy induction, as reported by researchers from Japan. Long thought to ...

By learning to recognize antigens from a dangerous pathogen, like measles or polio, the immune system becomes prepared to fight it off if exposed. “Since infants’ immune systems are more ...

Study introduces TRACeR-I, a protein platform with broad HLA compatibility, paving the way for advanced immune response engineering and disease-specific targeting. Study: Targeting peptide ...
